Volcanoes National Park was made famous by Dian Fossey and the film Gorillas in the Mist. With bamboo forest, open grassland and swamps this is a beautiful park, home to elephants, buffalo, hyenas, golden monkeys, over 200 bird species and the main highlight - mountain gorillas. This morning head into the depths of the forest with expert guides as you track the magnificent mountain gorilla. Your guide will explain all about their family and behaviour as you spend time with them. Observing these magnificent primates in their natural habitat is one of life’s most unforgettable experiences.
